About the Author
John Bunyan (1628-1688) was a Baptist preacher and author who received very little formal education and at an early age worked in the trade of his father, who was a tinker. After his conversion in his twenties, Bunyan began to preach and to write. In 1660, after the restoration of Charles II, the Nonconformists were subjected to religious persecution. Because Bunyan refused to give up his preaching, he was arrested and placed in the Bedford jail, where he remained for nearly twelve years. During his imprisonment, Bunyan wrote many of his most acclaimed works.
